Music

[Puttrick]

Hi,

I'm thinking of starting a FS campaign with my group of friends. I dearly would like some tips on nice music to use during playsessions. Any tips are welcome but if it exists on spotify thats even better.

Thanks in advance

Many different genres could be fitting in FS.

I kinda like Diary of Dreams for some encounters as they have a gloomy sound and fit well with creepy deep space themes I think. Try their song "Rumers about angels" for starters and see if it strikes your fancy.

But like I said, just about anything goes depending on the locale, theme and mood of a given scene.
Diary of dreams are hardly what a Hawkwood would play at a ball

Bits and pieces of the Dune soundtrack could definitely fit well. If you can track down the soundtrack to Star Control 2 that's got some good tracks on it too.

Tell us a little about your epic, Puttrick. Where will it take place? What will it be about (broad strokes)? What genre and style are you aiming for (swashbuckling; drama; action; horror; light and humorous; gritty; etc.)

Not that much to say. I played FS like 15 years ago. When I heard a new version was coming out I felt inspired to try to have a campaign of my own.

Due to work and stuff my time is limited to plan everything from scratch so I intend to use the warhammer campaign "enemy within" as a base. Found a site on The internet with some conversion notes so hopefully it wont be to much work.

As for music I know lots of useful stuff but since I really like music and always look for new stuff I thought why not ask around.

There is à music thread on rpg net I saw which hade some nice suggestions.

If I have the energy and time I might post a bit more info here later. One problem I think at least one player might lurk around here .

Have a Nicke day everyone!

This company has some really good instrumental music for games of all sorts: http://www.sonic-legends.com/music-cata ... gory/scifi

On principle I generally prefer instrumental music rather than stuff with words because words tend to distract me.

The soundtrack of the new Dredd movie is quite good. More dark and sort of technological.
Enjoy!

It heavily depends on the tone of the game, but I recommend Hildegard von Bingen, its perfect for transmiting a feeling of holiness. Diablo's soundtrack is great for those eerie places. For courtly stuff i recommend the "Cantigas de Alfonso X el sabio". For battle, prolly some metal or jRPG music, or maybe the Doom OST if you can handle the retro feel. Of course, if you want really demonic or pleasant/disturbing, you can always go Burzum.

Down go some downright good tracks that might come handy. All of this is Videogame Music, but precisely because of the narrative/descriptive quality of VGM it makes an excellent soundtrack for RPGs
